Happy turkey day!

For Thanksgiving Jace and I stayed here in good old Rexburg, we both had to work the weekend. Since Jace is the Executive secretary in our ward he and the first councilor were put in charge of everyone that was staying here for thanksgiving. We had a great dinner on Thursday with 6 couples, it was great we ate and played games, bishop even came from Idaho falls for a little while just to start things off. It was different, not being with family, but being here just with my husband. it was interesting the thought that Bishop gave though, there was a couple there and they have a little baby girl, he said when you are first starting out you think 'this is my little family' and yes it is but one day she will grow up and get married and have her own little family... Bishop said that really (and he pointed at each couple) this is your family; yes we will have kids and they will have kids etc. etc. but in the end it just boils down to the two of us, and I am so greatful for my Jace :)  Bishop also read a poem it was about things to be greatful form it was things like;

I am greatful for my pile of dirty laundry because it means I have clothes to wear,

I am greatful for my dirty dishes becuase it means I have food to eat,

I am greatful that my clothes fit a little snug because it means i have enough food to eat,

the list went on and on... here are some things I am greatful for:

I am greatful that my house is sometimes chilly because I get to snuggle closer to Jace :)

i am greatful that my feet are sore because it means I can walk,

I am greatful for my alarm because it means I am alive,

I am greatful for carpet,

I am greatful for so much in my life and for everyone that is in it. One of my co-workers said that for thanksgiving him and his wife went to the soup kitchen in the morning to serve I thought that was a really cool oportunity to serve there. I think that I would like to do that sometime, it would be  cool thing to give back especially durring the holiday.

Here are some pictures from the holiday!
